Summary

Innovation Academy is a public high school serving 327 students in grades 9–12 at 1321 Center Drive in Medford, Oregon, part of Medford School District 549C. It is the smallest of the district’s three comprehensive-style high schools, about one-fifth the size of South Medford High School (1,856 students) and North Medford High School (1,721). In 2025–26, it ranks 238th of 271 Oregon high schools (12th percentile, 1 star), compared with both Medford high schools near the 60th percentile and the district at the 50th percentile.

Parents should know the academic gaps are consistent and broad. Innovation Academy’s ELA proficiency is 31.5% and math proficiency is just 5.9% — roughly one-fifth of the state math rate and far below South Medford High School (23.1%) and North Medford High School (18.3%). Science proficiency is 16.0%, versus 39.0% and 46.6% at those two schools. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 71.6%, compared with 90.4% at South Medford High School and 86.5% at North Medford High School. Chronic absenteeism was 72.3%, more than double the district’s 35.4% and the state’s 33.5%. Attendance and graduation trends have been volatile, so single-year changes should be read cautiously.

Notably, the school has the highest per-student spending in its local comparison group ($26,624 in 2024–25) and one of the lowest student–teacher ratios (14.8), yet outcomes remain low, suggesting resources are not the main constraint. Two bright spots stand out in subgroup effectiveness: special education students rank 21st of 93 (77th percentile, 4 stars) and low-income students rank 67th of 152 (56th percentile, 3 stars). Because its reported free/reduced lunch rate (41.0%) is much lower than nearby comprehensive high schools, direct comparisons are not perfectly apples-to-apples, but the overall pattern remains: Innovation Academy is at or near the bottom of its comparison set on every academic and attendance measure.
